PREFACE. 

This little work was compiled with the object in view 
of giving the general public a book of reference per- 
taining to the various business interests of the city of 
Bradford, combined with useful information of all kinds, 
and in a form which would be most convenient. As the 
work of compiling progressed various ideas were sug- 
gested which have been carried out, with the result 
that the amount of information herein contained is far 
''eater than at first contemplated. The "'Historical 
)tes " will be found a most handy and interesting por- 
t= jii of the work, touching, as they do, most of the im- 
portant events in the historji* of the city, and being a 
review of the happenings which have transpired from 
i le time vhe Tuna Valley was a wilderness to the present 
ousy days. The railroad information, too, will be at least 
interesting, if not of practical value, to every one. For 
the Businnss Directory it can only be said that great 
care has been taken in the canvass of all the business 
interests now being conducted in the city, not to over- 
lo^'- a single one, and if such an oversight lias occurred 
it has been unintentional.

HISTORICAL 

BRAOFDRD, MckEAN COUNTY. 

McKean county is bounded on the north by the New 
York-Pennsylvania line : on the east by Potter county ; 
on the south by Elk and Cameron counties ; on the 
west bv Warren county. The city of Bradford is situ- 
ated w'ithin a few miles of the northern line of Mc- 
Kean countv. and about midway between Warren and 
Potter counties. It stands at' the confluence of the 
East and West Branches of the Tuna, a tributary- of 
the Allegheny river. In 18,^,7 Col. I.ittle purchased 
250.000 acres in and around Bradford, and tuilta log 
house. In 1S3S the village was .surveyed and named 
Littleton. In 1S51 Daniel Kingsbun,- purchased a large 
tract of land from the United State.s Land com- 
pany, and became most active and untiring in his de- 
termination to develop the resources of the village, and 
found a city. In 1S5S he had the name Littleton changed 
to Bradford, and with J. K. HafTey and others estab- 
lished the Bradford Miner, to as.sist'in building up the 
new city. In 1S73 the people asked forborout^h govern- 
ment and the demand was granted. From this time 
forward the valley- was a scene of the wildest activity. 
Busy men from all parts of the world crowded into the 
town in search of fortunes, in the form of petroleum. 
Thousands of derricks grew up. and all kinds of build- 
ings sprung up like reeds. In iSSo there were eight 
large brick buildings erected, among them the Riddell 
House. Over five hundred new dwellings were built 
and a number of new streets laid out. Since that time 
the wonderful growth of the city has ceased to become 
a matter of local histor}-. To-da-r Bradford is a citv of 
which its citizens are proud. 

ANTI-BELLLM DAYS. 

Little has ever been written of a historical nature of 
those early days on the Tunungwant. and before the 
beginning of the oil excitement. It is generally sup- 
posed that Bradford, before the discover},- of oil. was an 
unknown wilderness. As far as being a wilderness, it 
might be called that, but it was not unknown. A brief 
sketch of those days is here given, which was kindly 
furnished by e.v-Mayor Loyal Ward, who speaks of 
them as anti-bellum days. Mr. Ward came to Kendall 
from the Springville. 1 N. Y. ) Academy in the winter of 
1S49-50. to teach the Kendall Creek School. Kendall 
was at that time the great lumber centre of the Tuna 
valley. The people were most enterpn.sing and intelli- 
gent. Methodist. Baptist and Congregational churches 
were established. The .schools Mr. Ward found to be of 
a higher order than those of his native state. In fact he 
says that plenty of cheek, a silk hat and strait bodied 
coat was what carried him through. A vast amount of 
wealth was centured in the valley. Wealthy, educated 
men were engaged in the lumber business. John F. 
Melvin an educated and highly cultured gentleman, 



(the father of C. C. and F. J. Melviii) was associated 
with Judge Chamberlain in the hiniber and mercantile 
business. S W. Bradley with Mr. Fa}', of Cincinnati, 
were very prominent men, and large dealers and man- 
ufactvirers of lumber. Fuller I'fe Miller, Leach & John- 
ston. William Fisher, Nathan UeGolier, Mr. Webb, Mr. 
Moore, Frank Irvine, Mr. Fuller, John Whipple. H. W. 
Barr, Holmes & Porter, Mr. Sutton and others were all 
engaged in the lumber bu.siness. In fact the woods 
was full of lumber men. Daniel Kingsbury was the 
central figure. He was the svxccessor to the United 
States L,and Company, and was al.so extensively en- 
gaged in the lumber bu.siness and afterwards was in- 
strumental in establishing the McKean County- Bank, 
on the corner of Main and Congress streets. Col. Little, 
who came to the valley as the agent of the United 
States Land Company, was also a ver}' prominent citi- 
zen. The people lived high, money was plenty and 
poverty was unknown. The lumber, shingles, lath 
and square timber were rafted and floated out on the 
Tunungwant creek and on down the Allegany river to 
Pittsburg, Cincinnati. Louisville and points further 
south. One of the grandest sights in nature. Mr. Ward 
says, were these hills, overtopped with mas.sive Wey- 
moth pines '^hutting out all other growth, and almost 
constanth' I'ocking and .swaj-ing. Game was plenty. 
Not an uncommon sight was that of deer feeding in 
the back fields. In the spring of the year, at high 
water time, it took an army of men to get the lumber 
out to the Allegany i-iver. Raftsmen came from all 
parts to work. And these raftsmen were not without 
their sport. One night a nvimber of them gathered at 
Rice's Hotel, and could not get beds to sleep in. So to 
pass the night pleasantly they made the landlord a pris- 
oner and took a barrel of whisfcy out and set it on the 
counter appointing one of their number to act as bar- 
tender. The whole barrel was finished before daylight, 
and the reader can see their finish. Another time C. 
C. Melvin and a few other .sinners were taken to the 
edge of a raft, somewhat again.st their will, and 
baptised by immersion in the water of the creek. As 
to whether anj^ one of them have ever become back- 
sliders Judge Ward cannot say.

Emeiy, Jr., had been assaulted by Senator Elliott, of 
Philadelphia, on the floor of the Senate. The cause of 
the trouble was the opposition of Mr. Emery to a bill

matter endorsed. 

The attempted robbery of the Bradford National 
Bank occurred on March f, 1888. Geo. A. Kimball,

The burning of the business blocks on the corner of 
Main and Mechanic streets, opposite public square, and 
which extended from the Conneely Hotel along 
Mechanic and around on Main street to Malter Hall, 
occurred on January 13, 1S95 It was at this fire that 
John Crosby, of the Potter Hose Co., contracted the 
cold which finally resulted in his death. It was a ter- 
ribly cold and .stormy .Sunday morning, the thermom- 
eter registering 14 degrees below zero. 

The Bradford Po.stoffice is considered a rich plum 
and at every change of administration a dozen or more 
applicants are after it. it is the distributing station for 
a large section of country, and many towns, such as 
Olean, Eldred and Smeth'port, report to this office. But 
a few old citizens remember the Bradford po.stoffice 
when it was not .so pretentious. Sixty years ago the 
po.stoffice consisted of a five-pound raisin box, which 
was kept under a bed in William Fisher's house. When 
a man called for his mail Fisher, who was postmaster, 
would pull out the box, adjust his eye glasses, and in- 
spect the bundle it contained.

succeeded to the management and became president 
of the company whi'-h position he filled up to the

BRADFORD FIRE DEPARTMENT. 

The first step toward the organization of a Fire De- 
partment was the formation of the F. S. Johnson Hose 
Company on August 2, 1877. The first struggle was at 
the burning of the Bradford House in May, 1878. This 
was the second Bradford House destroyed by fire. The 
next organization was the Era Hook and Ladder Co., 
which was the result principally of the etforts of Mr. J. 
L. Andrews, to whom much credit is due for the fame 
which the Bradford P'ire Department has earned. The

BRADFORD AS A MANUFACTURING POINT. 

A Few of Its Natural Advantages Its Railroad Facilities— Cheap 
Fuel and Water. 

Nntural ytis at a lew cents per thousand feet. Its sup- 
ply praetically inexhaustible. We have upwards of 
forty thousand' acres of undeveloped gixs territory; we 
are very savinj; in its use and the supply should hist at 
least fifty years. 

Beiui: "praetically in the center of the great coal fields 
of Pennsylvania we can supply coal to the factories at 
an approximate figure of $1.1.5 per ton. 

Our shipping facilities are of the best. We are on 
Buffalo rates rates each way. We have six railroads en- 
tering the city. 

For wood-working factories Bradford offers many ad- 
vantages, being located in the center of thousands of 
acres of virgin forests, which should save thousands of 
dollars in freightage. 

Bradford is one of the best location for factories in the 
iron and steel industry. The iron ore can be delivered 
at the factory here as "cheap as at any of the lake points, 
and with the use of cheap natural gas for fuel gives 
Bradford great advantage over other cities. 

Bradford is an excellent poi-it for the location of 
woolen mills, knitting mills and silk factories, wnich re- 
quirr female help. Having iu)ne such here at present 
employing this kind of help it can be readily seen thai 
we could sup .ly a few concerns of this kind 

For the manufacture of glass we claim superior facili- 
ties over any other loc.ition in the United States. With 
natural gas and coal for fuel, low freight rates, and our 
proximity to the large (!astern markets, the western fa,c- 
tories cannot compete for the eastern trade, We have at 
our very doors some of the best glass sand in the United 
States, which shows over 99 per cent, pure silica. This 
sand can be had practically without cost, merely the 
crushing, cartag^^, and seiving to its proper mesh. 

One (if the most important industries which we have, 
and which should be doubled and tripled, is the brick in- 
dustry. We have without a doubt the finest shales and 
claysto be found for the manufacture of brick, from the 
paving brick to the finest of pressed brick. Our brick 
took the first premium at the World's Fair in 1893, and 
can be found in some of the largest and most expensive 
ottice. store and residence buildings in the United States. 
Our vitrified brick, which was tested by the United States 
Ordnance Department at Wati'rvliet Arsenal, Famniil, 
Mass., st od anopeiT pressure of twenty-five tons, and is 
pronounced by experts as the best brick made. Our 
brick will also take a most excellent enamel and is by 
experts pronounced superior to the English enameled 
brick, as well as those made in New Jersey and Canada. 
The factories that we have at present in this line are ex- 
ceedingly prosperous and continually increasing their 
cap.acity. The field in this line is iiractically unlimileil 
and till- trade could use tlie output of many more fac- 
tories m:iking this superior quality of brick. 

The Board of Trade and citizens of Bradford are ex- 

25 



ceedingly enterprising and take great pleasure in lur- 
thering the interests of its manufacturing industries. 
They are liberal in their inducements to get factories 
to locate in our rapidly growing city and anyone 
desiring to go into any kind of manufacturing busi- 
ness, or factories that desire a change in location 
should not lose the opportunity of thoroughly in- 
vestigating the many and highly important induce- 
ments which our thriving city throws open to cap- 
ital which is seeking investment and location in the 
manufacturing line. We practically offer free fuel, 
which is a heavy item to all mjinufacturing concerns, and 
with our exceedingly low freight rates. p]ast. West. Nortli 
and South, our city should grow so fast that within the 
next ten years we should be known throughout tlie 
United States and continent as one of the greatest man- 
ufacturing cities in this country. The Hoard of Trade 
will be pleased to hear from individuals or firms desiring 
to change their locations, or jjarties desiring to start in 
the manufacturing business and will give them at the 
present time special inducement to locate in our city. 
No firm can afford to start a new factory, or change their 
present location without consulting the Bradford Board 
of Trade. 



MARVELOUS GROWTH OF THE CITY. 

From the time when Col. Little selected the present 
site of Bradford as a more favorable point for a town 
than either Kendall or Limestone, which was in 1837, 
calling it Litteton, and up to the present time, there 
has been a constant growth; naturally slow at first, in 
those daj's when railroads were unknown and even 
wagon roads were scarce and these hardly deserving 
the name, but gradually, as these obstacles were re- 
moved, increasing each year until about 1855 when 
affairs in this valley took on new life and vigor and for 
the next few years there was a concerted effort on ''iC 
part of the business men to boom the town, t- j^y^ the 
town became a borough. In 1875 wa-- .ae real com- 
mencement of the wonderful ^^- ..in of Bradford. It 
was at this time that Hm^ I^ewis Enieiy. Jr., struck a 
large well at To-' ■■ i.uiiovv. Then came the ''oil excite- 
ment" a'' ^ .rom that on there has been no lagging in 
■^'-c aavancement of all business interests. On January 
14, 1879. a cit3^ charter was granted. And what a city is 
Bradford to-day! Elegant brick business blocks are 
being erected each year. Magnificent homes have 
sprung up and adorn the residence streets of the city. 
The streets that are not already paved are being so at 
a rapid rate, there being now over seven miles, and 
almo.st all of vitrified brick. Four raih'oads making it 
po.ssible to start on a journey in any direction at almost 
any hour of the day. Street railway service. And 
rapidly nearing completion a $30,000 city building. 
The people are citified in their manners and customs. A 
.stranger in the citj' observes this at once. The business 
houses wear a city-like appearance. One of the hand- 
somest streets one could wish to see is Main street at 

26 



night, each store being brilliantly illuminated and the 
window displays something that cannot help but at- 
tract the eye. The .streets thronged with people at any 
hour of the day and far into the night. And the most 
sociable people to be found in the world. Bradford 
gives promise of one day. and that not far away, of 
being a city of 30,000 population. 



BRADFORD BOARD OF TRADE. 

The Bradford Board of Trade is a corporation, organ- 
ized at Bradford, Pa., in 18S2. and which was granted a 
charter and certificate of corporation on December 19, 
1882. for the purpose of protecting, festering and de- 
veloping the commercial, manufactui-ing and business 
interests of the city of Bradford by joint and concerted 
action. Recently the Grocers' Union joined the organi- 
zation and a large number of prominent citizens have 
become members. New life and energy will be in- 
fused into the work of the board and a determined 
eflfort will be made to bring a number of new industries 
to Bradford.

'The Bradford Division of the Erie Railroad was com- 
pleted in 1865. It is the pioneer road of the city. 

It is estimated that the combined monthly pay rolls of 
the different railroads in Bradford is over $50,000. 

In 1863 an ordinary hand-car was used to convey pas- 
sengers, baggage and freight from Bradford to Carrollton 
and back. This was afterward improved on in the shape 
of a home-made train. The necessary car wheels were 
secured and an ordinary combination boiler and engine 
rigged up on a flat car, which by an ingenious arrange- 
ment of shafts, pulleys and belts, furnished the motive 
power.

We carry 50 styles of heaters in 
stock here from $3.00 up. 

That means that you can get what 
you want here. 

We sell 500 Stoves per year. 

That means that we can buy low- 
liest, and that people know that we sell 
lowest. 



The most popular gas heater ever 
sold in Bradford is the Radiant Home 
No. 20— $14. 

We are exclusive agents. 

The best range on any market- 
best in twenty different ways— is the

No one else sells it. 



The only "pure air" heaters are

about them when you come here.

That 3'ou can get a book which com- 
bines a History, a Railroad Guide, a 
Complete Business Directory, and in 
fact an Encyclopaedia of your own city, 
and in a form which you can carry in 
your pocket 

But It's a Fact 

That The Book of Bradford is just 
such a work, as a glance into this volume 
wall prove. From cover to cover it is 
full of information. If you want to em- 
bark on a journey and wish to know 
the route to take, the railroad to travel 
over, the time your train leaves, the 
connections you'll have to make, and 
the distance and railroad fare you can 
find it here. If you want to know who 
is engaged in any certain line of busi- 
ness you can refer to the Business Di- 
rectory. If you are looking up some 
important event in ihe citv's history 
3'OU will find it under "Historical 
Notes." If you want to know any- 
thing about Bradford ....... 

It's In the Book, 

If you have a friend or a relative whom 
you would like to have know something 
about your city or your busines send 
him a cop}-. If you have a few good 
customers in the country what better 
way of showing your appreciation of 
their trade than by presenting them with 
a copy of The Book of Bradford. 
It would be a handv book for them.
